<blockquote class="article-intro"><p><strong>Palestinian sources in the southern West Bank city of Hebron reported Tuesday morning that Israeli soldiers broke into and occupied a number of homes and used them as monitoring towers.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p class="article">The homes in question are located near settler-only roads leading to illegal Israeli settlements.</p>
<p>The sources stated that soldiers occupied the home of Issa Al Froukh, located near Beit Einoun-Sair Junction, overlooking settlement road number 60. The soldiers placed their gear on top of the home and prevented the family from moving freely in their own property.</p>
<p>Soldiers also broke into the home of Omar Shabana, at the entrance of Bani Neim town, also overlooking a settlement road, and used its rooftop as a monitoring tower.</p>
<p>The home is close to the site were Palestinian gunmen killed four settlers nine months ago.</p>
<p>Furthermore, troops occupied rooftops of several homes near the Keryat Arba’ illegal settlement, in Hebron, and restricted the movement of the residents.<br />
The army stated that the measure was conducted in order to provide security for the settlers during the Jewish Pesach feast.</p>
<p>It is worth mentioning that the West Bank was placed under a ten-day siege starting Monday, while the Ibrahimi mosque in Hebron will be closed to Muslim worshipers on Tuesday and Wednesday</p>
